68 Vette Station Wagon
Something you don't see for sale everyday. I have heard that some Vettes back in the 70's were converted over to station wagons. Who did the conversions and has anybody here ever owned one?

Re: 68 Vette Station Wagon
Ecklers corvette out of Titusville Florida sold a kit to do this destruction. There were actually two of these in Erie, PA. One done by a shop here and one brought to town and wrecked by a Canadian hockey player, brought to my shop for an estimate and possible repair, never heard from owner again, parted out the car mid eighties and sold rear wagon clip which GOT PUT ON ANOTHER CAR. AAARRRGGGHHH !

Re: 68 Vette Station Wagon
A guy here in town had one...seems like it looked pretty much stock except for the wagon addition. I can tell ya this, they do NOT look a whole lot better in person...

Re: 68 Vette Station Wagon
The station wagon kit was made by a local fiberglass shop called Vic's Vetts from Lake Minntonka Mn. He made around 500 of them.
He is still alive, but was in trouble in the late 70's-early 80's. He tried to ping off his business partner through an arson job, and finally got convicted for it 5 years ago. From what I heard, he is doing life in prison now. There are a few of them around here yet...like a handful. We had one in the shop for many years...and they were cobbled up. A friend of mine that worked for Vic did one of the last few ones, and he told me about how crude Vic did things. From what Matt told me, Vic prefered on using Corvettes that were builders from the salvage auctions, and build them to keep the costs down.
